More than 75 tattoo artists will practice their craft at “Palm Trees and Tattoos,” which starts with a pool gathering and party on Friday and continues with the main convention Saturday and Sunday.

The event is organized by TG Tattoo in Cathedral City and tattoo-oriented Sullen Art Collective in Orange County.

A bikini contest with a $1,000 prize is planned on Friday. The convention will include live music, tattoo contests and a portrait seminar by Yucca Valley tattoo artist Rich Pineda, according to organizers.

Among those appearing at the convention will be Sullen clothing model Bernadette Macias of Redlands, who hosts the company’s “Sullen TV.”
